We're LE-GOing Crazy Over This Amazing The Goonies Concept!
Have you ever seen such a glorious thing? No we love a good LEGO session, whether it's building our dream modern style muticoloured house, making a towers as much as possible before running out of bricks or the cat knocks it over (more likely that one). No growing up with this toy, one things we admittedly never thought of was combining this amazing and amazingly simple toy with our all-time favourite retro 80s flicks...The Goonies.
Thankfully someone just did! Yep a fan has submitted this concept design to the people of LEGO to ponder over. The idea is to perhaps celebrate the 30th anniversary of this classic films in 2015...we know...how old do you feel now! EEEEP! Take the tour....
The project, by a user named Lyonsblood, features sets called Fratelli Fracas and Skeleton Scare based on moments from the film.
"In 2015, the Goonies will be 30 years old, so what better time than now to start a Cuusoo campaign to reignite LEGOâs interest in this franchise in time for the celebration" said Lyonsblood. "With the success of the Back to the Future set, and Ghostbusters equally riding high in the Cuusoo charts, there's definately enough interest in retro movies from the eighties."
Retro Toys And Tea-Time Treats From Punky Allsort
We were left positively drooling at these new arrivals from the super-sweet brand Punky Allsorts! Lovingly hand-made, just like mama's fairy-cakes, these utterly scrumptious delights are the perfect pick-me-up treat (and completely calorie free!)
And, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, these absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic goodies turned up! How we loved building castles from Lego and practicing our Care Bear stares back when we were little!
New styles we're loving this week!
We're always adding shedloads of awesome new stuff to the site but here's a few of our favourites from this week....
With only 25 days to go to THE BIG DAY, we're starting to get pretty excited about the impending Royal Wedding and our new fit for a Princess, Little Miss tee is the perfect way to welcome the celebrations. With sparkly blue jewels on her golden crown, Little Miss Princess is the latest addition to the classic series of children's stories, created by Adam Hargreaves in time for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Our exclusive tee features a shot of her in all her royal glory making it perfect for any fellow princesses in waiting! Click the pic to find out more...
This unmistakeable Kiss tee from Amplified is definitely a stand out design from their Spring Summer collection. Featuring a cracking shot of Kiss frontman, Gene Simmons complete of course with his trademark facepaint, we think this Lick It Up tee is a future Amplified classic. Click the pic to buy.
If TruffleShuffle did cameras.........
Oh wait, we do! This is no ordinary bit of kit though. Built completely from LEGO bricks, it canât be taken apart but bricks can be added to the top or bottom of the camera so you can dig out your old toy box and start putting those boxes of lego back into use. Perfect for us grown ups who can still smell those little plastics bricks as if we were ten years old, kids will obviously love it too making it perfect for their first foray into the world of photography. Let's be clear, this is no toy though; itâs a full functioning 3 Megapixel digital camera, featuring a color 1.5â LCD screen. It takes high quality photos with the built-in flash, fixed focus and digital zoom and holds up to 80 photos at a time. Prepare for the nods of approval when you get this out and start snapping away.....
